BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 10, 1914.

Application filed August 11, 1913. Serial No. 784,109.

T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, AUGUST A. \Vnyn, a citizen of the United States, and resident of St. Louis, Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottles, of which the following is a specification containing a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, fornnng a part hereof.

y invention relates to improvements in bottles, and the object of my invention is to construct a bottle especially designed for use as a container for poisons and a combined closure and cap therefor arranged to be connected with the neck of the bottle in such manner as to require reversed motions of the cap when extracting the cork, so that the operator may, by the unusual cfl'ort required in extracting the cork, be notified that the contents of the bottle has unusual qualities.

A further and more specific object of my invention is to provide a combined stopper and cap for bottles wherein the cap will have a threaded connection with the neck of the bottle so as to produce a more perfect fitting of the stopper within the neck of the bottle.

WVith the above purposes in view my in vention consists in certain novel features of construction and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, pointed out in the claim and illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 shows in elevation a bottle constructed according to my invention, the cap being shown in section; Fig. 2 is an elevation illustrating the neck portion of a bottle constructed according to my invention taken at right angles to Fig. 1, the cap being removed; Fig. 3 is a plan of the bottle as shown in Fig. 1, with the cap' removed; Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional elevation of the cap removed from the bottle; Fig. 5 is a plan of the cap; Fig. 6 is a sectional plan taken on the line 66 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 7 is a sectional plan taken on the line 7 7 of Fig. 1.

Referring by numerals to the accompanying drawings:

8 designates the body portion of a bottle and 9 the neck thereof.

At or near the base of the neck of the bottle there is formed an external thread 10 and adjacent the mouth of the bottle there is formed an external thread 11 which is interrupted at the points 12.

Formed on the exterior of the bottle neck between the threads 10 and 11 are the horizontally disposed ribs 13 and 14: having the interruptions 15 and 16, and associated with said horizontally disposed ribs are the vertically disposed stops 17 and 18. The horizontally disposed ribs, their interruptions and the vertically disposed stops form passage ways which are not continuous in any given direction.

19 designates a cap arranged to embrace the entire neck of the bottle including both of said threads, and 20 designates a stopper carried by and preferably formed integral with the cap. Adjacent the upper and lower ends of the cap are the internal threads 21 and 22 arranged respectively to coact with the threads 11 and 10.

23 designates substantially diametrically opposed projections formed integral with the cap and arranged to coact with the horizontal ribs 1 1 and 15, and the vertical stops 17 and 18.

24 designates bosses formed on the exterior of the cap for the purpose of giving warning as to the contents of the bottle, and further to provide a means whereby the cap may be more readily grasped for its ma.- nipulation.

Assuming the cap and stopper to be in a fully seated position, as shown in Fig. 1, the operator upon a rotation of the cap toward the right will cause the threads 21 and 22 of the cap to ride-the threads 11 and 10 of the bottle, thereby elevating the cap and consequently the stopper, loosening it from the bottle.

The. arrangement of the horizontally dis posed ribs with their interruptions, the vertical stops and the interruptions in the uppermost thread together with the diametrically opposed pro ections 23 of the cap necessitate relative right and left hand movements of the cap at different altitudinal elevations forming a maze or labyrinth through which the projections must travel before the cap and the stopper may be separated from the bottle.

I claim:

In combination with a bottle whose neck is provided with external threads and interrupted horizontal ribs, vertically arranged stops between the ribs, a combined right and left hand movements for the re 10 moval of the cap from the b'ottle.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
